The recycling scam laid bare in California’s

Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves. When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage. That wasn’t surprising, though

In my neighborhood, the truck comes and picks up all the recycling cans, then a couple hours later the same truck comes and picks up all the trash. They get to spend twice as much on fuel but all the lemmings can feel good about themselves for recycling and doing their part

As I understand it China no longer buys our recycled plastics. . In some CA cities the separation.greeb can/blue can nonsense still exists. But where condos use dumpsters that serve multiple units all bets are off. Everything goes into the dumpster. Supposedly it is sorted later. Wanna bet?

My FIL's goofy second wife just loved to follow rules, particularly the local recycling directives which called for label removal and rinsing of bottles. Efforts by the family to point out that used water bottles didn't need rinsing were quite ignored.

I have some experience with recycling having served on municipal and county level recycling committees: Rule #1: Recycling does not pay. Recycling costs-lots. The only item that is usable at all is aluminum cans. and that still costs lots. All other streams are not viable, and cost much. The smug value of virtue signalling is absolutely a scam.

Anybody else tired of all the lying the government elites spew at us neanderthals? I've heard that aluminum and paper are the only items that are worth our time to recycle. My son recycles my boxes for us (the only paper I do recycle) and that's it. For whatever reason it is not a big deal where I live. No colored trash cans or special pickup trucks. When it costs more to prepare the garbage for pickup, then sort and separate, pickup and deposit to a different facility all before the recycling progress even starts it is not cost effective. It's the same sort of scam the climate crazies use.

Garbage is a YUUUUUGE business, and there are really only about three companies nationwide in it...funny ian't it, the names keep changing on the ownership documents as they keep getting caught buying off Govt employees and elected officials, as well as organized crime involvement.Marin USED to have one of the nations first and most complete, efficient, recycling programs, including a heard of pigs to eat the food wastes. But the amounts incoming outgrew the facilities, and property prices are so outrageous that local locations were fiscally impossible.(I previously lived in Larkspur, Sausalito, and Tiburon)

They started recycling here where we live last year and charged $2 a month of the regular garbage bill. It was optional then and we opted out. We refuse to recycle especially to pay.

Here on our northern California homestead we don't have trash pick-up. We take all our stuff to the "Reclamation Center" down in town. On our last trip, everything had changed. The separate shipping bins for glass, plastic, and paper were gone. Instead we were directed to the old yard-waste barn; one side had a huge pile of trash, the other side a pile of all "recyclables" together. While unloading our truck and throwing stuff on the "appropriate" pile, we had to dodge other people with their stuff and skip-loaders filling up the garbage trucks...from both piles! Gone were the bins for electronics, and we saw no place for large household appliances. We sold our aluminum cans, but didn't seem to get as much as usual...and the gate fee was raised from $8 to $12. I still separate the glass, plastic and paper/card board into different boxes to keep the storage shed neat. But, the Lord only knows what awaits us on our next trip to "recycle" here in hypocrite-run California.

Our trash collector instructs us to put garbage in plastic bags and leave recyclables loose in the can. When it all gets loaded in the truck and compressed, there is no difference between what was in the bags and what was loose. It is all mixed and marinating in the same juice. Why lie about it? The funny thing was when they left a pizza box in my garbage can. You know, those are not recyclable. LOL

I had also been told what #2 reported. The hope, ostensibly, is that the recycling materials market will eventually return to viability, making separation of waste types relevant again. And to keep us in the separation habit, the municipalities are continuing the collection ruse, rather than having to retrain us all over again.. I doubt the market will return in my lifetime; but I'm willing to continue separating my own stuff.

I stopped trash recycling decades ago when I found out it was a scam. I hated that obligated feeling too. I gave my neighbors the recycle bin so I didn't have to store it. I recycle certain boxes into my soil for no dig gardening, etc. I also recycle milk bottles back to Earth Fare; it's so worth the $2+ dollar credit.

I'm not a crazy environmentalist, but I do care about the environment and I recycled for many years, washing containers and removing labels. I quit recycling years ago when I found out our server only recycles brown corrugated cardboard. The rest goes in the landfill. I wish it wasn't so, but I know that there is a huge expense involved. Most of our neighbors continue to put out their bins full of glass, plastic, cans, colored cardboard.

The claim that garbage from Tiburon’s black, blue, and green bins all gets dumped into the same landfill is not accurate, according to official sources and waste management practices. A recent video showed a Tiburon refuse collector emptying sorted trash, recycling, and compost bins into a single truck, which sparked public concern and skepticism. However, Mill Valley Refuse Service, the contractor for Tiburon, stated this was an "isolated incident" caused by a single employee who did not follow proper procedures. The company clarified that this was not standard practice and that the employee has since been retrained. The official explanation was that the driver was only supposed to collect landfill trash that day and mistakenly collected all waste streams together, possibly due to contamination concerns in the bin

Maybe two decades ago on a KOA radio talk show, a caller said he worked or formerly worked at the Denver landfill. He said the landfill accepted deliveries of semi-truck loads of plastic water bottles for “storage.” The pretense was the bottles would be picked up upon availability at a recycle plant. The caller said the bottles were never picked up.

As #8 points out, trash collection is big business - the owner of our local disposal company lives in one of the nicest spreads in the community. Composting is his latest push, and we're now asked to throw food scraps into the green bin along with all the lawn trimmings. I went to the transfer station once to have a look at all the free mulch available, but mixed in with this giant pile of mulch was a piece of garden hose, plastic bags, various pieces of small trash, and that's just what was visible. Echh.

By making separate rounds with trucks, trash collection companies double their collection costs and make all customers pay for it although there are far fewer people who recycle. As a bonus, you are awakened by the backup beepers at 6:00 am two days a week instead of one.

A Massachusetts jury found Karen Read not guilty of murder by reason of O.J. Simpson on Wednesday. If the broken taillight did not hit, you must acquit. O.J. Simpson vowed to find the “real killers” after his acquittal. Read said outside the courtroom Wednesday, “No one has fought harder for justice for John O’Keefe than I have.” As Simpson tormenter Norm Macdonald might joke if cancer did not murder him: What terrible luck that the person who fights the hardest for justice for you winds up murdering you.

End the EPA’s Endangerment Finding 2 replies
Posted by DVC 6/19/2025 12:07:21 PM Post Reply
In December 2009, the Endangerment Finding was born when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under then-president Obama ruled that carbon dioxide (CO2) endangered human health and thus could be regulated as a pollutant. The EPA’s action flowed from an expansive and unjustified decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that CO2 was a pollutant simply because it was emitted into the air, and if the agency found it endangered human health or welfare, it could regulate it. VOX has referred to the court’s decision as the Roe v. Wade of climate policy, and VOX is right.[snip] CO2 is not listed as a pollutant or hazardous chemical under the 1970 Clean Air Act

If you were to ask any Democrat about germ warfare in the Americas, you’d almost surely hear from them about the time that “Americans” tried to kill Indians with smallpox-infected blankets. After all, it’s right there in Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, the most read (and most Marxist) history book in American education. The fact that it was an officer in the British military, not the colonists, who did this once in 1763 is irrelevant. Our nation is tarred. Given the Democrat obsession with this particular “germ warfare” (conducted at a time when germ theory didn’t exist and, moreover, it was an exercise that almost certainly failed)

In Minneapolis’ consent decree suicide I wrote of the consent decree that Biden’s Handler’s Administration, in the waning days of that corrupt administration, tried to impose on the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD). If enacted, it would have branded the MPD as systemically racist and made it all but impossible to do its job, particularly where minority criminals were concerned. It would have allowed the federal DOJ, through a monitor hired at some $750,000 per year, to daily micromanage the MPD. Such consent decrees are essentially eternal. Implementation and paperwork mandates would have cost Minneapolis far more than a mere $750,000 per year.

It happened yesterday at the Supreme Court. The case was an appeal of a district court order issuing a “universal injunction” against President Trump’s executive order seeking to abolish “birthright citizenship.” Birthright citizenship is the kind you get if you’re born in America even if your parents are here illegally. The 14th Amendment seems to provide for it, although there is a non-frivolous argument that it does not.

As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a major victory on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that district court-level nationwide injunctions exceeded judicial authority. That will throw a wrench into the left-wing strategy of seeking universal relief in a select few left-wing jurisdictions across the country and hopefully return some actual balance to the separation of powers within the U.S. government. Of course, while the decision was a victory for common sense and for voters who would prefer judges not overstep their bounds to essentially operate as president, it was a defeat for Democrats who have relied on that abuse to remain in power even when they lose.
